 Rigid Pavement
 14 days flexural concrete strength
 AASHTO
 CRCP Reinforcement
 Minimum width of new pavement = 6.70 m
 Excellent subgrade
 Minimum thickness for overlay shall be 50 mm

Contraction Joints =

Contraction joints are chiefly defined by their spacing and their method of load
transfer. They are generally between 1/4 – 1/3 the depth of the slab and typically
spaced every 3.1 – 15 m (12 – 50 ft.) with thinner slabs having shorter spacing
